NEWTOWN JUNIORS FC
All our teams’ games went ahead last week despite more heavy rain making the playing pitches a lot heavier.
Our 8’s hosted Carnew FC where a total of 56 goals were scored between the two teams with the away side edging it by the bare minimum. On the day John Paul Dunleavy, Eoin Ledwidge and Finn Heffernan were among the players who starred.
Our under-9s hosted Wicklow Rovers Green and both sides played some excellent football on the day. Among those who were best on the day were Aaron Nolan, Conor Shevlin and Bobby Spillane.
It was a bad day at the office for our under-10s as they shipped a heavy defeat away to Roundwood FC John Turley and Jack Barlow scored the Newtown goals on a day when too many players were way below par.
Our 11’s (kindly sponsored by Real Debt Solutions) kept up their recent good form with an impressive 5-2 win away to Greystones Green. Ryan Collins maintained his recent rich vein of form in front of goal with a hat trick. Aidan Heffernan and Daniel Eager added the other goals with two very tidy finishes. On the day Mikey Synnott, Aaron Roy and William Valentine were among the best players from Newtown. This finished a run of 19 points from a possible 21 to secure the team a semi-final place at the top of the table.
Our under-12s made the long journey for the top of the table shield clash with Shillelagh United. Against a very good side a goal either side of half time gave the home side a 2-0 victory.
Our ever-popular Development Squad continues every Saturday morning from 10 a.m. till 11 a.m. and now is in the community centre as the weather conditions deteriate. All boys and girls from 5-7 years are very welcome to attend and can contact any coach or committee member for further information.
